Effect of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on penile α-SMA and eNOS expression in diabetes mellitus rats model: a non-pharmacological approach to diabetic erectile dysfunction
Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise improves α-SMA expression in the penile tissue of diabetic rats, contributing to better erectile function. Although it did not affect eNOS expression, this finding supports the potential of exercise-based non-pharmacological therapy for managing ED in diabetic patients.
